Cultivation of wheat grass and development of value added products incorporting wheat grass juice and wheat grass powder

Gene-containing regions of wheat and the other grass genomes.

Deletion line-based high-density physical maps revealed that the wheat (Triticum aestivum) genome is partitioned into gene-rich and -poor compartments. Available deletion lines have bracketed the gene-containing regions to about 10% of the genome. Emerging sequence data suggest that these may further be partitioned into "mini" gene-rich and gene-poor regions. An average of about 10% of each gen...

Competition of Western Wheat Grass with Relict Vegetation of Prairie

Hypolipidemic effect of fresh Triticum aestivum (wheat) grass juice in hypercholesterolemic rats.

Present study was aimed to elucidate hypolipidemic effect of fresh Triticum aestivum (common wheat) grass juice (GJ) in experimentally induced hypercholesterolemia in rats and to investigate its role in cholesterol excretion. Hypercholesterolemia was induced experimentally in rats by including 0.75 g% cholesterol and 1.5 g% bile salts in normal diet for 14 days. Hypercholesterolemic rats were a...

Effect of wheat grass powder on aluminum induced Alzheimer's disease in Wistar rats.

OBJECTIVE To find out the effect of wheat grass on aluminum induced Alzheimer's disease in Wistar rats. METHODS Memory impairment was induced by aluminum chloride (4.2 mg/kg, i.p.) for 28 d. Memory function was assessed by Morris water maze test. To study the activity of wheat grass (100 mg/kg, p.o.), Wistar rats were administered it for 28 d along with aluminum chloride. Biochemical paramete...

Wheat Grass Juice in Thalassemia LETTERS TO THE EDITOR INDIAN PEDIATRICS

INDIAN PEDIATRICS 79 VOLUME 43JANUARY 17, 2006 Lipoblastomas are circumscribed while lipoblastomatosis is diffuse and infiltrative. It is important to completely excise the tumor to avoid leaving residual tumor and to prevent recurrences which mostly occur within 2 years. Confusion with myxoid liposarcoma, well-differentiated liposarcoma, and typical lipomas may occur. Anup Mohta, Ritesh K. Ana...
